IN THE LEAD 3

Wrestling team pushes to succeed

Our Voice

Battle of the coins is a friendly competi-tion against the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Each grade works to collect the most silver coins like, dimes, nickels, and quarters to add that amount of points to their score, while other grades try to deduct others point by adding pennies. All of the money collected is matched by Scholastic Books and donated to Toys for Tots, kids

in distressed situation or kids in need. After the week was done and the coins were counted, the eighth grade pulled ahead and won by 2022 points followed by the seventh grade in a close second place with 1558 points, and in last place the sixth grade with 1438 points. Every competition comes with a prize for the winner, in this case, since the eight grade won, the prize was seeing

dean of students Ken Byard in a hula outfit all day. Adding his own touch to the situ-ation by doing a little dance for the whole school to see. Hilarious as it was, the crowd enjoyed it.

Our Voice is the opinion message selected by the editors of the Sailors On the Scene newsmagazine.

Pushing to be the best, the Mona Shores Middle School wrestling team has been dominating and having a very successful season this year.

This is because the football coaches have been recommending that their players par-ticipate in wrestling during the off season.

“Coaches want kids to be involved in all sports,” middle school wrestling coach Ken Byard said. “There is skill carried over and it keeps you in shape.”

Secondly, the coaches push their players to be the best. They make sure everyone is trying and giving their all.

“We have good coaches that inspire us,” eighth grade wrestler John Hunt said. “They push us to succeed.”

Also, having such great success this sea-son causes other students to come out and

get involved, to join other organizations, so they will become better wrestlers and become part of a team.

“It inspires them and makes them want to be winners,” seventh grader Christian Hilliard said.

Being part of a team which has been hav-ing a solid season inspires others to treat the players better and to respect the team much more. Students like teams that are doing well during the season.

Both Hunt and eighth grade wrestler Ethan Vanderlaan agree that players get more respect when they have a winning season.

“Usually kids want to go out for winning teams,” Vanderlaan said.

Good coaches and practicing during the off season are just some of the reasons why

the Mona Shores Middle School wrestling team has been having such a successful season this year.

Eighth grader John Hunt wins his match by doing a reverse half on a Reeths Puffer wrestler which then leads to his pin.

During the middle school cafeteria reno-vation there were big plans, but some of them got put on hold after Mona Shores fell victim to a Ponzi scheme back in 2010.

Speakers were one of the items that were purchased and installed. They are used to make announcements to students as well as to provide background music.

“We have speakers in the cafe so we can make announcements to students to not interrupt classrooms,” dean of students Ken Byard said.

The speakers in the cafe have also given students the opportunity to do birthday shout- outs to their friends and classmates.

“I like that (friends) can remember their

birthday and you get to yell their name out,” sixth grader Nichole Galarneau said.

The music that comes from the speakers has students singing out loud as they enjoy their lunch.

“I like that there is a beat and not some boring music,” eighth grader Megan Law-ton said.

Installing three to five flat screen televi-sions was also in the original plans, but at this point it is not a priority.

“It has dropped way down on the list,” Mr. Byard said.

Although some cafeteria plans were put on hold, the speakers have been a great ad-dition to use during all three lunches.

Every year students in third to eighth grade are required to take the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test, this year Mona Shores Middle School did exceptionally well in reading, and in eighth grade math, but not as well in sci-ence.

Every year students seem to demonstrate that they are understanding the testing more, or possibly the teachers are doing better by improving the scores at a steady rate.

“Scores have been increasing in this building because we have hard working teachers that want to help kids,” dean of stu-dents Ken Byard said. “There is no question that the scores could improve even more.”

This year is one of the years that MSMS students beat North Muskegon in eighth grade math, proving that our preparation is reflected in our scores.

“Absolutely our preparation shows, and the teachers prepare their students well which shows because we beat many schools in Muskegon County and other counties,” seventh grade math teacher Donna Cargill said.

The best score this year came from eighth grade math with a score of 55% beating the state average which is 44.7%.

“There are actively involved, caring, con-cerned parents that have high expectations which makes increased performance in the students,” Mr. Byard said.

The worst score this year came from sci-ence, with only 24.1% of students meeting or exceeding the state average which was 27.5%

Mona Shores and other schools are required to take the MEAP test and scores this year prove that students and teachers prepare well for the MEAP.

FEATURES4

The reason Mona

Shores Middle School

does better at football

in middle school and

not as well in high

school is because ath-

letes decide not to play, players move away,

and athletes get moved up to play at the

varsity level.

In high school, players get really lazy.

They stop going to lifting and would rather

hangout with girls and go to the beach.

Players also move away,some move

schools and some just move out of state.

There’s nothing we can do about it because

when players move it makes our teams

smaller. Some of the times the athletes

that move are one of the best players. For

example, Anthony Spagnolo. He was a re-

ally good football player, then he moved to

Texas in the summer before his freshman

year.

In high school, athletets also get moved

up. Ninth grader Tyree Jackson is the best

quarterback at the high school. He was the

best player in his grade, then he got moved

to quarterback for the varsity team.

Winning or loosing in the middle school level is just one step in achieving athletic success in girls’ basketball for the high school level.

After they loose a game the girls have two options, work harder in practice and get their mind set to win the next time, or forget about it and stay the same.

“After I loose a game is makes me push harder and do more at practice,” eighth grade forward Mackenzie Quinn said. “Loosing hurts, but winning is everything and I think about achieving the goal of bet-ter team work.”

Things that the players do after the season is extremely important. Girls are able to participate in individual and team summer camps, AAU, AYBT and playing for travel teams.

“I go to AAU and AYBT camps over the summer,” eighth grade forward Raelyn Sells said. “Other schools are going to camps and getting better, we should do it too.”

Loosing a game makes an athlete burn for a win later on. Its not just the will to win later on, but you have to put in time to get that to happen.

“Paying attention more at practice,” eighth grade point guard Madison Hronek said. “If you pay attention more you will get

better.”Winning or loosing is just one step in

achieving athletic triumph in girls basket-ball for the high school level and further more.

Every day, kids

between the ages of 2

and 18 in America eat

40% of their calories

in six different things:

soda, fruit drinks, grain

desserts, dairy desserts,

pizza and whole milk.

Having healthier choices in the lunch-

room would ben-

efit students by

providing them

with a great way

to eat healthy

for breakfast and

lunch. If you

eat healthy you

want to keep go-

ing in the same

direction and eat

nutritious foods

all day long.

When you eat healthy, it effects every-

thing you do, from your athletic perfor-

mance to how well you do in school. A

balanced lunch that doesn’t include a cookie

and a bag of chips could give you a boost

of energy that lasts all day so you stay

awake in class and are energized for an after

school sport.

The number of obese kids in the United

States has tripled since 1970, mainly be-

cause of food choices, and junk food in the

lunch lines is not helping. By substituting

fresh salads for pizza, fruits and vegetables

for cookies and chips, and water for fruit

drinks we could make a big difference.

Although junk

food may taste

great, it lacks

the nutrition of

a regular meal. By replacing certain foods

and promoting healthy eating, we can make

Mona Shores Middle School a healthier

school.

Mona Shores ski club is a fun after school activity that begins after Christmas break.

Every Wednesday for six weeks, 50 students take a bus to Cannons-burg ski area in Rock-ford.

Ski Club has been going on for almost a whole decade. When sixth grade social studies teacher Steve Trautner came to Mona Shores in 2002 from Reeths-Puffer, he thought it would be a great idea to start a ski club just like Reeths-Puffer’s; he was right. At first it was hard to fill the manageable capacity of 50 students,

but once every-one heard about it there was no problem filling the bus.

This school club is becoming more common

in other schools. Mainly because it gets kids outside and active letting them experi-ence skiing or snowboarding for the first time. After school students are bused to

Rockford, dropped off, and are allowed to explore the ski area until 8 o’clock at night when the bus leaves.

Another positive aspect about ski club is that students can make friends with other students, not just from your school, but from other schools too. When you are at ski club on Wednesday there isn’t just your school, there are two more. The other two schools are Forest Hills Central and Reeths-

Puffer, so you always have the opportu-nity to make new friends.

Ski club is a fun winter club that everyone can do if you’re willing to pay $180 on a season pass. Whether one skis or snowboards, or you even have some sort of combination of the

OPINIONS8

Not all music is rap and pop. There are other types of music out there such as chris-tian rock, whose best example is Need To Breathe.

Need To Breathe originated in Seneca,

South Carolina. The current members of the band are Paul “Bear” Rinehart, Bryant “Bo” Rinehart, Seth Bolt, and Joe Stillwell. Seth Bolt had received a degree in record engi-neering, while the Rinehart Brothers had a pastor father who ran a church camp. Need To Breathe has received six awards, includ-ing, Group of the Year and Rock/Contem-porary Album of the Year. They have signed

with Atlantic, Word, and Sparrow labels.Daylight was their pilot album, and since

then they have been growing in popularity. The band has released four albums so far, including Daylight (2006), The Heat (2007), The Outsiders (2009), and The Reckoning (2011).

They have been on tour with a variety of different artists and bands such as, Train, Collective Soul, Will Hoge, and Taylor Swift. They opened for Taylor Swift in her ‘Speak Now World Tour’, which began on May 27, 2011, in Omaha, Nebraska.

Need To Breathe has set a whole new world for people who like to stay in of their comfort zones. Give them a listen, and you’ll soon become enchanted by their pure Christian tones.

One Direction is a British- Irish band that consists of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tom-linson. With their talent and good looks they are now known around the world.

Their fame started on July 20, 2010, when they were brought back on the “X- Factor” as a boy band, after being turned down as individual solo artists earlier in 2010. Win-

ning third place in the seventh season, One Direction went on to do bigger things all around the world. “X-

Factor” ended and One Direction signed a 3.16 million dollar record contract with Syco Music.

Winning their first “BRIT” award for “What Makes You Beautiful” on Febru-ary 21, 2012, their popularity spiked even higher. Now on tour with Big Time Rush, One Direction has finally made their way to see all of their American fans. Signing a

deal with Nickelodeon, One Direction will now have a documentary, every Saturday in March. During their appearance on iCarly, One Direction sang their new hottest single “What Makes You Beautiful” which peaked Nickelodeon interest in them.

People all around the world, young and old know their name, but some, know way past that. These dedicated fans are called “Directioners.” They stick together and talk on sites like Tumblr and Twitter. One Direc-tion recognizes how many fans and they don’t take advantage of them, they appreci-ate them more than any celebrity I know. Directioners are the most dedicated fans a celebrity could have, everyone can see that. They love them and One Direction loves all of them right back.

The boys in One Direction have come so far since the X-Factor in 2010. They are still moving further in the career world. Many love them and they are still gaining more fans everyday. Just think, this all started with one choice brought up by Simon Cowell.

ENTERTAINMENT 9

Eighth grader Elizabeth “Libby” Miller has been involved with theatre since she was eight years old. She has been involved in theatre since third grade, and she wants to continue it for the rest of her life.

One of the productions she performed in was Suessical Jr at Mona Shores High School, she was Gertrude McFuzz.

“Libby did an awesome job along with the rest of the cast,” choir teacher Kyle Cain said.

Miller doesn’t only take an interest in the-atre, she also loves playing soccer, partici-pates in cheer,and enjoys playing the piano.

“I’ve played soccer my whole life,” Miller explained. “It’s pretty much my life.”

In addition to all of her extra-curricular and after school activities, she finds the time to make sure that academics are a priority.

“Libby Miller is a very conscientious student,” eighth grade social studies teacher Susan Marris said, “She does her assign-ments and contributes to the climate of the classroom by participating in discussions and activities.”

Overall Miller is hardworking and also a fantastic student. She is the student that wants to push herself to succeed in life.

From a small adoption center in Rus-sia, to a modern town in Michigan, eighth grader Kayla May is a gymnast with quite a unique beginning to her life.

May was adopted from Siberia, Russia when she was only five.

“In the adoption center, there was only one room, and a lot of beds,” May said.

Kayla’s real mom used to be a gymnast, so that inspired Kayla to also be a gymnast and keep the so called “tradition” going in her family.

“What influenced me to be a gymnast was my history,” May said.

May has been a gymnast for eight years now and says that she still loves the sport.

Along with managing gymnastics, she is also an excellent student.

“Kayla is a great student, hardworking, always engaged, and willing to participate in a class conversation,” eighth grade social studies teacher Kyle Kurant said.

Aside from school and sports, May also loves spending time with friends and loves having a good time.

“She is funny, outgoing, and fun to be

around,” eighth grader Taylor Brown said. “Kayla is a great friend and I am lucky to have her in my life.”

May is just a true Sailor and a really good person who has a very interesting story.
